Book launch 7 May 19.00 'Dreaming of Dreams' Maurice Bogaert at Framer Framed in Amsterdam
Dreaming of Dreams is a book about dreaming as a political act.
Dreaming of Dreams brings together found footage, archival and self-produced
material in a carefully staged composition where fiction, nonfiction and autofiction intertwine.
The book follows three characters and their dreams: a Jewish-German journalist who fled to New York, a stationmaster living in Syria, and a hesitant dreamer from a former mining town in Limburg.
We are excited to invite you to the launch on 7 May at Framer Framed in Amsterdam. During this evening Farnoosh Farnia will talk with artist Maurice Bogaert about the book, about dreaming; dreaming as a political act, and dreaming as an act of resistance.

Dreaming of Dreams is Maurice Bogaert's second artist book. His award-winning The Walter Benjamin and Albert S. Project, with a book design by Mainstudio, was published by Jap Sam Books in 2020.
The jury for the Best Dutch Book Designs described his debut as 'an uncompromisingly cinematic report. It is not a book to leaf through. Every page has to be read and examined closely in order to gradually descend, with the director, into the past and reach the climax. Frame by frame, page by page, the story unfolds.'
